About this work

This sketch shows a woman in a long, dark coat with big pockets and a high collar. Her hair is pulled back, and she stands with her arms out, like she’s modeling the outfit. The background is plain, and the lines are loose but confident. The coat looks like something from the 1940s or 1950s—simple but stylish. The artist’s handwriting in the corner says *Saint Sébastien*, which might be the name of the design or the model. If you like this drawing, check out Marie-Louise Carven, the artist who made it.
